Stoldt, 41, of 1113 Forrest Ridge Drive, was selected by the Dover Democratic Party Central Committee, which met Thursday in Tuscarawas County Democratic Party Headquarters in New Philadelphia. Stoldt was the lone candidate.

City Law Director Doug O'Meara attended the session and administered Stoldt's oath of office.

Stoldt had been selected in September 2009 by the city's Democratic Central Committee to replace city Treasurer Joe Maybaugh, who resigned because of health reasons. She was elected in the November 2009 general election.

Stoldt obtained her bachelor's degree in accounting, business and economics from Muskingum College in New Concord.

She then worked for 13 years for the state auditor, becoming a senior auditor manager.

"I did Dover's state audits for several years," she said. "From that experience, I'm used to seeing the opposite side of the books. I'm familiar with the laws and regulations regarding what needs to be done."

"As city treasurer, I've worked closely with Mary (Fox) for the last four years, and am very familiar with the operations of the city," she said. "With that experience, I think my duties will be a great fit."

That's not all of her financial experience. She serves as treasurer for the Tuscarawas County Democratic Party, and currently works 15 hours per week as fiscal officer for the Tuscarawas County Public Library system.

"I would like to continue to help, but it will be up to the library board," she said.

She also is a member of the Dover Education Foundation Board of Trustees.

Stoldt resides with her husband, Jody, and their four children.

Also on Thursday, Stoldt submitted her resignation as city treasurer. Her current term ends Dec. 31, and she was re-elected in the November general election to a four-year term beginning Jan. 1, 2014.

Dover Democratic Party Central Committee members will select her replacement when they meet at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 12 in Tuscarawas County Democratic Party Headquarters in New Philadelphia.

Any Democrat interested in being considered for that position should notify Ida Barlock, county Democratic Party chairwoman, via e-mail (tuscdems@gmail.com) or mail (Box 524, New Philadelphia, OH 44663) by Tuesday. For more information, call 330-343-9642.

Barlock said that the person selected must reside in Dover. She said so far, Sue Solvey and Georgeanne Korns have expressed interest in becoming city treasurer.
